Chief Executive Officer Commentary
Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg, commented: “In our 2024 strategic review, we identified cash flow, integration and margin as key priorities and value drivers for Bragg Gaming Group. In Q2 we began to focus on integration and optimization. We identified and actioned key areas where we have now optimized our cost structure and have implemented strategies to leverage synergies from acquisitions such as Spin Games and Wild Streak Gaming.
Specifically, we have realized
While our top-line growth may appear modest, I want to be clear about our strategic focus. With increasing gaming taxes being implemented in key markets like
In terms of content and markets, proprietary content is growing in the
With this focus on margin and cash flow we have also revised our revenue expectations for the year, while forecasting an improved Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the second half of 2025. We are prioritizing high margin opportunities versus low margin revenue.
We’ve also enhanced our leadership team with two transformational key hires, firstly adding Luka Pataky as our new EVP of AI and Innovation. Luka’s appointment comes as we launch an initiative to drive an all encompassing AI-first cultural and technology based change at Bragg.
In addition, experienced iGaming industry executive Scott Milford also joins us as our EVP of Group Content, and will propel the next phase in the growth of our online casino content.

2025 Outlook
Previously, the Company anticipated double-digit growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2025 which was driven by a strategic focus on expanding in regulated markets, growing proprietary and exclusive content portfolio, and continuing momentum in growth markets such as the
The Company’s focus is on cash flow, integration and margin and as such, while the strategy remains the same, the areas of attention and focus have shifted. The full year 2025 guidance has been revised to reflect higher gaming taxes and market softness in
This change reflects a deliberate shift toward higher-quality earnings. The Company is prioritizing margin and cash generation over lower-margin revenue, and synergies realized post-quarter end to become a leaner operation put the Company on track to move Adjusted EBITDA Margin a few percentages higher in the second half of the year compared to the first half of the year. The Company remains focused on growing the business in a sustainable and margin-accretive manner, with strong momentum in the proprietary content and technology pipeline positioning Bragg for long-term profitable growth.

Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future and allowing readers to get a better understanding of the Company’s anticipated financial position, results of operations, and operating environment. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or describes a “goal”, or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.
All forward-looking statements contained in this news release or the conference call reflect the Company’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the statements were made. Actual results or events may differ from those predicted in these forward-looking statements. All of the Company’s forward-looking statements are qualified by the assumptions that are stated or inherent in such forward-looking statements, including the assumptions listed below. Although the Company believes that these assumptions are reasonable, this list is not exhaustive of factors that may affect any of the forward-looking statements. The key assumptions that have been made in connection with the forward-looking statements include the regulatory regime governing the business of the Company; the operations of the Company; the products and services of the Company; the Company’s customers; the growth of the Company’s business, meeting minimum listing requirements of the stock exchanges on which the Company’s shares trade; the integration of technology; and the anticipated size and/or revenue associated with the gaming market globally.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: risks related to the Company’s business and financial position; that the Company may not be able to accurately predict its rate of growth and profitability; risks associated with general economic conditions; adverse industry events; future legislative and regulatory developments; the inability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; the inability to access sufficient capital on favourable terms; realization of growth estimates, income tax and regulatory matters; the ability of the Company to implement its business strategies; competition; economic and financial conditions, including volatility in interest and exchange rates, commodity and equity prices; changes in customer demand; disruptions to our technology network including computer systems and software; natural events such as severe weather, fires, floods and earthquakes; any disruptions to operations as a result of the strategic alternatives review process; and risks related to health pandemics and the outbreak of communicable diseases. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Statements in this news release make reference to non-IFRS financial measures, including “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, which are non-IFRS financial measures that the Company believes are appropriate to provide meaningful comparison with, and to enhance an overall understanding of, the Company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. The Company believes these non-IFRS financial measures will provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of its business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating its business and making decisions. Although management believes these financial measures are important in evaluating the Company, they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. These measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. These non-IFRS measures and metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may nor otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures.
“Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA after: (i) adding back share based compensation; (ii) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on lease modification; (iii) deducting lease payments recorded as a depreciation of right-of-use assets and lease interest expense; (iv) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on re-measurement of contingent and deferred consideration; (v) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on re-measurement of derivative liabilities; (vi) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on settlement of convertible debt; (vii) adding back or deducting gain (loss) on disposal of intangible assets and (viii) adding back certain exceptional costs. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. A reconciliation to IFRS financial measures is provided in this news release as well as in Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.
Future Oriented Financial Information
This news release and, in particular the information in respect of Bragg’s prospective revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may contain future oriented financial information (“FOFI”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook on Bragg’s proposed activities and potential results and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The FOFI has been prepared based on assumptions with respect to customer growth and market expansion. Bragg and its management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management’s best estimates and judgments; however, the actual results of operations of Bragg and the resulting financial results may vary from the amounts set forth herein and such variations may be material. FOFI contained in this news release was made as of the date of this news release and Bragg disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this news release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law.
